Care and catering

Montessori Pedagogy to the End

In addition to the all-day school, we offer care by our teachers after the school in our FreiRaum and on Fridays for children in grades 1 to 6.

More detailed information for the individual booking of the the Open All-Day Primary School, please notice the downloads below!

Lunchtime care (Grades 1-6)

from the end of school until 2:00 p.m.

  • Pedagogical objective: Continuation of the Montessori pedagogy. Alternation between individual leisure activities and guided activities.
  • Exchange with the teachers
  • Procedure: Common meal in groups in our canteen. Free play, if possible outside.

Additional care for all-day class
(Grades 1-6)

Monday to Thursday: after school until 4:30 p.m.
Friday: after school until 3:30 p.m.

  • Pedagogical objective: The students are in the additional care during the time when there are no lessons. They can participate in free play or projects.

Examples

In the open all-day classes, the students spend the school day together until 1:00 p.m., 2:00p.m. or 3:30 p.m.: They work together in the morning and afternoon as a class and have lunch together. And of course there is also time for play and relaxation.

In contrast to the all-day class, attendance is not compulsory in the day care. Accordingly, students from different classes come together, eat together and play. Outside if possible.

Example Lunch time care:

Student does not go to the all-day class and is to be cared for after school at 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm and needs lunch. In this case, the booking of lunch care is a prerequisite for both on the required days.

Example A Open all-day class:

2 children (Child 1: 4th grade and Child 2: 7th grade)
Child 2 has regular school hours from Monday to Thursday until 3:30 p.m.
Child 1 has regular school hours from Monday to Thursday until 1:00 p.m.

On Fridays, both children finish at 11:45 a.m..

Child 1 can stay in the OGS (Open All-Day School) from Monday to Thursday until 3:30 p.m., so the children finish school at the same time on all days and can participate in lunch.

Additionally, there is the option to have child 1 attend the OGS until 3:30 p.m. on 2 days and the short OGS until 2:00 p.m. on 2 days.

Example B Open all-day class:

2 children (Child 1: 2nd grade and Child 2: 5th grade)

Child 2 has regular school hours on Tuesday and Thursday until 3:30 p.m. Child 1 has regular school hours on Tuesday and Thursday until 11:45 a.m..

On Monday and Wednesday, both children have regular school hours until 1:00 p.m., and on Friday, both finish at 11:45 a.m..

Child 1 can stay in the OGS on Tuesday and Thursday until 3:30 p.m., so the children finish school at the same time on all days.

Additionally, there is the option to book both or just one of the children beyond the times mentioned above. If the children are to participate in lunch on all days, child 2 must be registered for lunch care on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and child 1 must be registered for the short OGS on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Catering mission statement

We focus on four essential aspects in our catering mission statement: health, sustainability, appreciation and economic efficiency. The Montessori School Herzogenaurach has a modern preparation kitchen and offers the students a warm full meal every day. The range includes two menu lines in two different portion sizes, including a vegetarian option. In cooperation with a regional food provider, lunch is freshly prepared by them every day and delivered to our school. Sparkling water as well as still water is available to the children and teenagers during the entire school day.

In the 2017/18 school year, our school successfully participated in the one-year school coaching project on the topic of school catering from the Office for Food, Agriculture and Forestry. We implemented the guidelines of the German Nutrition Society and review them at regular intervals. We also participate in the school fruit and milk programme. A family atmosphere during lunch is just as important to us as the shouldering of responsibility by each individual. Students are responsible for laying the tables, fetching the food and distributing it fairly, and leaving the cafeteria clean.

Hot Lunch

We offer a tasty lunch freshly prepared for our school. Lunch can be booked on a fixed day basis with the contract. This is only possible in combination with the booking of the lunchtime care or the all-day class. If you do not book a hot lunch, please provide your child with a cold lunch. School camps and project weeks are already deducted from the lunch calculation, no further reimbursement will be made. Meal changes are possible until the 10th of the current month with effect from the following month.
